Introduction
This activity is designed to encourage class participants to identify a minimum of five (5) separate items they expect to learn in class that they did not know previously. This exercise will commence after the learning objectives are read and the facilitator explains the purpose of the course. Participants will be asked to identify and record five (5) things they expect to learn after the facilitator reads (or has) the objectives read. On a piece of paper, participants will write down the five (items) they expect to learn. Participants will print their name on the paper and turn them over to the facilitator. The facilitator will keep the lists until the course is complete. When the facilitator covers an item that the participant selected they will raise their hand and explain to the class what they wrote down, how the facilitator covered it, and what meaning it has to them. Upon facilitator verification that the participant did write down what they said, the facilitator will award one (1) point. At the end of the topic the participant that has the most points will receive a nice prize, perhaps some organizational clothing or a gift certificate. The facilitator is the sole authority in determining if the participant’s answers match what they wrote.

Process
Identifying what participants expect to learn and rewarding them for it. See Introduction for rules

Debrief
Only to verify the students expectations when they raise their hand indicating that the facilitator covered one of their expectations
